Rocks rocked at Wingate ... City go Wild ... Selsey hold Eastbourne

BOGNOR’S final away game of the Ryman premier season ended in a 4-1 defeat at Wingate and Finchley.

Ollie Pearce gave them the lead just after the half-hour mark and they held it until the 68th minute - but then they collapsed.

Goals by Tommy Tejan-Sie, David Knight (2) and Bradley Hewitt - all within the space of 13 minutes left them well-beaten.

One bright note was a first start for a long time for full-back Daryl Wollers.

The loss means Bognor can finish no higher than 13th.
